Notes on Mexico Jerselem hospital

[Bowgirl 19]

I notice thatmany of you are referring to the price as less. How much did you guys have to pay at this horrible place? I will be having mine done march 6 at INT hospital with Dr Jaime Ponce Deleon.

Going to Dr. Almanza is $1000 less than dr. ponce de leon. $4500 as opposed to $5500.

I was at this clinic with my husband at the end of January '13. The conditions are exactly as described. It was horrendous. I was sleeved in the US and was struck by the many contrasts. I have heard wonderful things about other surgeons in Tijuana - but I recommend that folks avoid this place like the plague.

I used Dr. Cabrera and Venezuela, they are 4500 for the sleeve, same as Almanza, There are options out there that don't compromise safety or comfort.

A friend who used Almanza 2 years ago could not recommend using him, so I did my research and knew he wasn't for me.

I would have spent triple somewhere else to avoid that place! I live in Canada and my family doctor has done 3 X-rays since I've been home and I'm healing well. No issues physically but man alive I'm beating myself up for making such a poor choice picking that place! When you're overweight you're desperate sometimes. Glad it's behind me

When I first started researching surgery. I was watching videos on you tube and this place has lots of them. Almost like they try to get all their patients to do a video. But I seem one persons video and it showed them driving up to a place that looked like a strip mall and I said then no way!!!!!! I love vertical sleeve talk!!!! It has helped me choose Dr Garcia at $4700.

Forst of all, I am so sorry that your experience was so awful! The decision to have this surgery is stressful enough I can't imagine having confidence issues in your hospital once you arrive. I went to Mexicali and my Surgeon was Dr. Aceves. He was great, doesn't do more than three surgeries a day and I saw him multiple times a day during my three night hospital stay. Just so you know not all Mexico experiences are scary! I'm so glad you had no complications and are recovering smoothly. You sharing your story could save someone else future pain and suffering!

Oh goodness, I just wanted to say how sorry I am as well that so many of you have had such an unpleasant experience. We do appreciate when our members share their personal experiences, good, bad or otherwise. It is so important for people to be armed with as much Information as possible so they can make an informed decision about the surgeon they choose.

Especially when Dr. Garcia's prices are comparable and he is so well reviewed.
